[ice grillin you]

oh i didnt see that

[SunMo]

he looks like Barbaro when he runs

[ice grillin you]

king and santana are going to have some epic battles over the next five years....change up mania...

i just did the math too...they should face off for our mvp six pack april 20th mets game

not really....but i hope

[SunMo]

Hamels, Myers, Kendrick, Moyer, Eaton

vs.

Santana, Martinez, Maine, Perez, Hernandez


clearly the mets rotation is better when healthy, but pedro and el duque can blow up with injuries anytime, and i think oliver perez was a fluke last year.  and they still have Billy the gagger as their closer.

It will be funny to watch Burrell have career days against Santana and then go 0-for against the Eric Milton's of the NL.

Today in Phillies history:

1948: Commissioner Happy Chandler fines the Phillies and two other clubs $500 for signing high school players

1961: Billy Hamilton is selected for baseball's Hall of Fame by a vote of the special veterans' committee

2005: Three Phillies minor-leaguers, and two from the Toronto Blue Jays, were involved in a fistfight with some locals in the parking lot outside a Clearwater bar. First-round draft pick Cole Hamels suffers a broken hand.

We have Pedro Feliz. Titletown, baby.

I'd be more excited if what they did in the offseason made them actual contenders.

They treaded water.  Barely.

And now the Mets are gonna get Santana and leave the Phillies in their dust.

Yay team!

Like last year?

Santana made all the difference last year, yes.

[phattymatty]

i can see hamels slapping someone, but not punching.

[Sgt PSN]

Myers is mentoring him with a "crawl before you walk" mentallity. 

[Rome]

^ I chuckled. ^

[BigEd76]

Odalis Perez worked out for the Phils in the Dominican Republic

[MDS]

There he is, that's my boy. Good to see you back in form, Easy. Keep it up.

Rome...if you couldn't tell what I was getting at, there's less hope for you than I thought.

Got my Phillies spring training tickets in the mail yesterday.  Four tickets for the Yankees & four for the Tigers directly behind home plate.

Nine days till pitchers & catchers report...
